They DO look interesting. I'd like to know who's using them and what they think about them as well.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

I haven't tried the ITP's, for those who haven't seen them yet as I had not, Click here I have tried Sand Skate 1's with the first spur left on, Photo's I ridden them twice so far, they do give more hook than without the spurs, and I found them to be OK for playing at Walden (altitude 8500') how ever when I went to Glamis I found them to be lacking in hook up and the quad shuddered when taking off from a compleate stop, this was on a DS760 with a +4 swing arm these tires are on a 10X10 rims as per the mfg. recomendation, hope this helps a little

I don't know, they look like they would be heavy???? I always prefer the buffed-down Skat-Traks because they are light. I also noticed that they are 22". I personally don't like to give up low end gearing especially in the sand, so I will stick with 20". The ITP's might do best on a big bore bike.

Well they do make them in a 20in tire also, and they are supposed to be light. I do agree with you though. I am just waiting to see who the first guinea pig will be. I hope someone will buy them soon and tell us how they work!

Ah, they do make 20". One of the mags said only 22's.

I have run the new Sand Stars and I am quite impressed with them. They are not as heavy as Sand Sharks and the paddles are about 1/8" taller than Sand Skate2's.
